Squish Him Like A Bug 🥰

Did you read your own article? It literally says that the Canada IS prosecuting them.

But I suppose it’s too much to expect a fascist to be honest. That’s on me, sorry.

None of this disqualifies Canada from being perfect?

These aren’t the actions of the nation of Canada. These are the actions of private companies. They simply are not relevant to the discussion.

If I, a citizen of Canada, brutally murder my neighbours, that does not make the government of Canada murderers, now does it?

how did jackie feel about zayn leaving one direction

Jackie would LOVE 1D: they're like...the ideal. Boys who EVERYONE agrees are Attractive (so its not weird for her to like them! It's in face a mark of how Normal she is!) and who lots of very cool, normal people are obsessed by! So it's not weird if she talks about them- it's not like when she's telling people about SF storylines or womens soccer, it's not boring or lame, it's Cool! And their songs are happy and bouncy and cheerful and she just Does Not Get why Van and Shauna make faces when she plays their songs over and over in the car. (Gen and Lottie also quite like 1D. Mel and Tai don't really have any strong opinions on them. Mari LOVES them too but doesnt want people to know how much because caring that much about a boyband is both not Cool and also she knows Shauna will tease her a LOT. Nat doesn't think boybands should be allowed- they are literally A Product that was created from a tv show ffs. They just perform whats written for them, dress as theyre told, make money off kids too young to know better. That goes against everything that music stands for. Like if they were an independent group that made the same music- meh not her taste but fine. But they're literally a PRODUCT, even THEY dont care about the music they make! *sees Jackie come into the room and shuts up immediately bc she knows jackie loves them and the only thing worse than corporate bullshit bands is spoiling something that someone loves so wholeheartedly. And no she absolutely wasn't absent mindedly humming/bobbing along to Story of my life when she was in the kitchen making dinner, stfu Van, stop laughing-)

All that to say, Jackie gets really upset when Zayn leaves because that's a Change. What if the band isnt cool anymore and people dont want to let her talk about them? What will she listen to now there wont be new songs? What if she forgets he's not a member and people laugh? What if- She basically gets kind of sad and mildly panicky over it but Nat knows its more about the change and the sadness that one of her safe socially accepted interests is now Different. It's ok, she gets over it- the other YJs treat Jackie, Gen and Mari to a night eating snacks and watching all their videos and stuff together and even Van and Shauna are sweet about it and that helps.

(Side note: Lottie likes the music but is, as with lots of things, not that bothered about little details like band lore or like knowing the band members names. When Jackie tells her Zayn is leaving, she asks who Zayn is and then shrugs and says maybe they'll just get a new guy who looks a bit like him to be Zayn, right? Like when your goldfish dies and your nanny gets you a new one that looks just like it so you don't cry because there's a Very Important Dinner Party and if you;re throwing a fit, it'll get ruined? Nat is like dying laughing inside as she patiently explains that like no, boyband members arent the same as goldfish. Why not? Well theyre not scaly, they dont swim.... No Lot, I dont know if the band members can swim. I guess they can. Anyway- (I love the idea that Lottie is just very much totally on her own plane of thought and reasoning. And she can keep going with her questions and theories for AGES and sometimes she genuionly believes it, sometimes shes messing with you a bit but only she ever knows which....)

I’m literally crying and weeping and screaming (complimentary). my two hyperfixations??? in one post??? can this day be any better

Oh sweet Nerevar. Should have bewared the Ides of March.

I realised only this morning that oh, hey, it's the Ides of March, maybe I should draw a lil' thing. It took me about two hours to paint this one in Photoshop - based on the Death of Caesar by Vincenzo Camuccini.

“Burn your Harry Potter merch”

… what is that supposed to do, exactly?

like, the money has already changed hands. the transaction has taken place. you’re not hurting Rowling by setting that fire.

"I don't like JRK but I still love Harry Potter"

You have blood on your hands

Burn your fucking Harry Potter merch or be burned with it.

I'm fucking livid.

Jim Hacker: You mean to tell me that when the chips are down, you’re on my side, not Humphrey’s?

Bernard Woolley: Minister, it’s my job to see that the chips stay up.

Hey!! Your reply to my (dagoth ur propaganda) post interested me, i haven't seen in TES lore that Dagoth Ur would have returned many times (i tried searching for that info at one point, it would've been useful in a story i was writing at the time) so i'm curious if i overlooked some detail?? 👀👀

so most of that was “devout tribunal worshipper larp”

but there’s definitely evidence for OTHER members of House Dagoth returning after they were killed. If you manage to talk to Ascended Sleepers, you can ask them about “understand nothing” and they say:

“You think what you do has meaning? You slay me and I am dead? It is just dream and waking, over and over, one appearance after another, nothing real…”

which I’ve always taken to mean that you can kill them, but they are revived by the heart. we can also tie this to Lord Vivec’s dialogue when you ask him about “to be a god”. She replies:

“…It is a bit like being at once awake and asleep. Awake, I am here with you, thinking and talking. Asleep, I am very, very busy. Perhaps for other gods, the completely immortal ones, it is only like that being asleep. Out of time. Me, I exist at once inside of time and outside of it.

continue

It's nice never being dead, too. When I die in the world of time, then I'm completely asleep. I'm very much aware that all I have to do is choose to wake. And I'm alive again…”

So I take that to mean that those connected to the Heart of Lorkhan are functionally immortal, returning to life some time after their supposed death, just like the Ascended Sleeper said. The *dream* that the Sleeper mentions is death. *Waking* is being alive again. For what it’s worth, Vivec calls the followers of Dagoth Ur “heartwights,” meaning they definitely have some connection to the Heart, even if they aren’t on the same level as the Three.

There’s also Dagoth Ur’s famous line, “I’m a god! How can you kill a god?”, which comes right after you beat him in the outer chamber, then walk into the Heart Chamber and he’s right there again. I’ve always taken this as “we kill him in the outer chamber and then he revives inside.”

So I definitely think Dagoth Ur *could* come back to life, if killed. Did he? Probably. We know that the Three made yearly pilgrimages to the Heart to replenish their power. We also know that Vivec defeated Dagoth Ur at least once in open battle. I think it’s likely that the Three would have fought and beaten him at least a few times.
